Czech government and opposition parties agree that the nuclear power plant makes a “China out” offer, China is unfair | International |新 头壳 Newtalk

“China out” has become the consensus of the Czech government and the opposition! According to foreign reports, political parties in the Czech Republic, on national security grounds, stated that they rejected Chinese companies from participating in the tender for the country’s second largest Dukovany nuclear power plant. In response, the Chinese Embassy in the Czech Republic expressed serious protests and bombed the Czech Republic for abusing the concept of national security, violating the principle of fair competition and damaging the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.

Should the Czech Republic build the Dukovany nuclear power plant, should China and Russia be excluded? The Czech people have always been against the country’s pro-China president, Miloš Zeman. In late December last year (2020), the country’s Senate issued a statement stating that if China and Russia were invited to participate in the tender, national security would be jeopardized. At the time, Ziman criticized those who think from a national security perspective and did not take national interests into account. Both parties were stagnant.

However, the Czech people generally support the Senate and the tender has been postponed. The Dukovany nuclear power plant is the second largest nuclear power plant in the country, with an annual power generation capacity of 1,760 megawatts, equivalent to approximately 20% of the country’s total electricity consumption. The total price of the tendered project amounts to 6,000 million euros. In addition to the initially excluded China General Nuclear Power Group (CGN) and Russia’s Rosatom, the Korea Nuclear and Hydroelectric Company (KHNP), the French Electric Power Company (EdF) and the US Westinghouse ( Westinghouse).

Czech Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Transport and Minister of Industry and Commerce Karel Havlíček said that both the ruling and opposition parties in the country believe that Chinese companies should not be able to participate in bidding for new units of nuclear power plants when they are try. to national security. Participation, consensus has not yet been reached. It is understood that the project must be approved with EU assistance before the Czech government can obtain funding.

The Chinese Embassy in the Czech Republic was certified by the Czech government and the opposition to endanger national security. She was excluded from the tender and was so angry that she expressed “serious concern” in the Czech language on Twitter and on Zhongda’s official website. and strongly opposed the Czech concept of pan-national security. The practice of artificially establishing barriers for Chinese companies to enter the Czech market and attacking the Czech Republic deviates from the principle of fair competition, violates international economic and trade norms, disrupts the normal market order, and harms legitimate rights and interests. of Chinese companies.
